Right before mgsv comes out aswell OP.

 

[The Lone Courier]

Concern.... Doesn't sound like he's finished.

 

[Jeff-DSA]

Have the calls been much more threatening then the texts? Could it be that a coworker/buddy called you from a payphone or something to freak you out?

Definitely was not a coworker. This was a legit situation. The live calls were far worse, yes. I think it's dying down...at least I hope it is.

If you are 100% positive he has your address, I'd still go to the police.

 

[Rabbi_Vole]

Send him this. Hopefully it seeps into his subconcience and he chokes on it in his sleep.

 

[ShadowsFell]

All joking aside, I agree with this.

Texting has changed...

 

[ShadowsFell]

Haven't gum wrappers done enough?

 

[Mauricio_Magus]

This is too good to be true, this could be the plot of a dumb movie.

 

[Gaz_RB]

Right before mgsv comes out aswell OP.

This made me laugh way too much. You're right though, this is the biggest drawback of dying.

 

[PHOENIXZERO]

You got pranked back man. Take it to the next level. Kill his family and when he walks into the scene jump out and tell "Gotcha!". Omg he'll be so fooled.

I understood this reference.

 

[RickD]

Surely the only truly American thing to do in this situation is to sue the Bubble Gum maker? then sue your friends, that guy and yourself.

 

[FunkyPajamas]

Some of what I sent him as follow up (after the gum wrapper pic).

I think it might be over...but yeah, what a stupid thing to experience today.

"I feel terrible that a joke went south"

"But then again, it's always like that with your wife"

"HEYYYOOOOO!"

 

[Robert-One-Oh-seven]

If that person is still so mad even after you have explained yourself. Send a copy of the gum wrapper then i bet he and his wife are having troubles and he picked you to rage against. Even though from your end it's a stupid coincidence. I believe you will not get him to calm down and i would contact the police and just explain what is happening. Then at the very least the police knows about it.

 

[The Beard]

I would sue 5 gum. It's the only rational conclusion to all of this.

 

[Colonel Nasty]

Buy a couple of burner phones. Text his wife dick picks of different ethnicities.

Do this, OP. At least for the RTs

This. They might help out just to avoid bad PR.

Amazing story though.

 

[Lengusta]

My face as I read the OP

Some really funny shit, you should have alpha male the situation but then he has your address and you kinda sound like he would beat you in front of you're wife and kids.

Keep us updated

 

[Jeff-DSA]

I already tweeted them and let them know, they don't care. Maybe it was a 5 Gum exec's wife.

This is actually a good idea.

Or it could backfire and you could get 1000 Scary Movie calls from trolls.

jar jar use ur bkb and deflect all his spell damage yey

You didn't use the hash tag, man.

How are they supposed to know!

 

[Milly Osworth]

I apreciate your concern..

Oh and.. I see you..

 

[Marky Mark]

This made me cackle slightly at the tram stop in front of other humans.

 

[Toparaman]

And link to this thread too.

 

[Beardz]

I'm pretty sure that this is actually the script for John Wick 2.

 

[PfantzyPantz]

OP Can you not see that victory lies within your grasp? He thinks you a quivering coward begging for life, yet that is how you can prove him the fool. You have his number, use his own tactic against him! Discover his address and take his life before he has chance to take yours. Press your advantage!

And moments before you plunge your blade deep into his heart, whisper into his ear that he was right all along.

 

[Nivash]

What were they thinking with that promo? Randomly texting the wife of a psycho that she's beautiful is just one of several ways this could go wrong. You could text a guy who's a huge homophobe and set him off in a similar way. You could text a girl and scare her into thinking she's being stalked. You could text a kid and find SWAT banging down your door at 2 AM to arrest you for solicitation of a minor.

The risk of massive lawsuits alone should have been enough to keep 5 Gum from doing something like this.

 

[Daffy Duck]

Don't fuck around with gum, it'll only get you into sticky situations bro

 

[suberzat]

Text him cool story bro

 

[odiin]

This should've been the plot for True Detective S2.

PLOT TWIST: OP is Stan.

 

[Exr]

DON'T PLAY ON PEOPLES PHONE S

 

[Daffy Duck]

PLOT TWIST: OP is Stan.

OP is bird man.

 

[CitizenCope]

1 in 10 chance he doesn't even have a gun. Look at it that way.

 

[birthday-suit]

Wait. Fuck all this shit.

Did you tell your wife?

"Honey, I was playing on the phone and now I think a crazy man has our address."

 

[davepoobond]

Wait. Fuck all this shit.

Did you tell your wife?

"Honey, I was playing on the phone and now I think a crazy man has our address."

If he told his wife then he would be forced to call the cops.

 

[Rembrandt]

Some of what I sent him as follow up (after the gum wrapper pic).

His response, which calms me a lot.

I think it might be over...but yeah, what a stupid thing to experience today.

he's laughing his ass off at you.

also i think the dare meant to text a random number in your phone, not a random number in general.

 

[UberLevi]

Now you know how it feels to chew 5 gum.

 

[birthday-suit]

If he told his wife then he would be forced to call the cops.

Maybe she'll laugh about it.

"Haha baby you so crazy!"

 

[kewlmyc]

Not sure what to say other than call the police if you really feel afraid for your family.

Hope you aren't dead by tomorrow, OP.

 

[iqubal]

Invite the couple for coffee at a starbucks to talk things over etc. When you spot them, quietly walk over and say:

"I've come here to chew some bubblegum and fuck someones wife.....and I'm all out of bubble gum".

 

[TheLaughingStock]

OP stop it. You gotta be tough. Don't be like me man you're better than that.

 

[Byakuya769]

Being an adult is hard.

 

[Glass Joe]

apologize for the auto correct and let him know you meant "cum wrappers," you wanted to know if 5 condoms will be enough for his wife's next session with you.

dude's fuckin with you.

you could call the cops, but i'm pretty sure they won't do anything. you still might call just if you're thinking of getting litigious with 5 Gum, so you have a paper trail. it does sound like a pretty stupid promo and you'd have a case for distress.

 

[MulderYuffie]

Wow that turned dark quick now didn't it?

 

[TheVampire]

And yes, he looked up my name and address using my phone number. He could easily find me.

How do you get that info from a phone number??

 

[Khaos_Knight]

Text him a picture of your dick.

Then he'll see that you couldn't have been the one his wife was cheating on him with.

 

[Richie]

This is so Regular Show-ish...But here's hoping the last message is an indication that he can think more rational now after his initial outburst.
